Straight Talk - Supply Chain InsightsMarket Happenings in Supply Chain Management: Buyer Beware #338The pandemic speaks: supply chain management is more critical to organizational resilience. As a result, money flows into the supply chain market by venture capitalists, spurring a rash of liquidity events, consolidation, and market shifts. Here, the Founder of Supply Chain Insights, Lora Cecere, asks and answers the critical question: Is this good for the business buyer? The answer is no. Consolidation, liquidity events, and venture capital investments typically result in employee turnover, slowing product roadmaps, and client delivery.
